That party needs to be seriously capsized.
It also seems like the Republican party when they were a little less crazy.

Will I vote for them? Probably not... but I'd rather have "a little less crazy" than "Bachman Batsh_t Crazy".

in the mix.

Same right wing drivel as across the aisle but spoken in a calm, even tones and maybe with a smile, hitting on focus grouped keywords like "reasonable", "both sides", "meeting in the middle", "moderate", "fiscally responsible".

This group also helps to provide "moderate" cred to open TeaPubliKlans in swingable districts so this particular Republican trojan horse has the added benefit to the ownership class of helping to actually empower the opposition caucus so it is extra toxic beyond the normal Turd Way collusion.

As per source watch; "A front group is an organization that purports to represent one agenda while in reality it serves some other party or interest whose sponsorship is hidden or rarely mentioned."

I read through their site, and they are unabashedly Center to Center Right on the political spectrum, interested in tight fiscal controls over government spending, supportive of business, but neutral on the social matters that have often driven the Republican Party. It appears they have developed to counter balance the far right wing radicalism of the Tea Party.

I didn't vote because I did not agree with any of your distractors.

A viable alternative for us? No - we have a party. The Democratic party has some problems, of course, and most of us wish it were a little bit or a lot more left.

But a viable alternative for Centrist or Blue Dog Democrats, along with Moderate or Old School Conservatives? It probably is a viable alternative for them.

They're all the people who broke everything & who demand to be put in charge of putting it right.
